only in sleep
shall we make love
only in sleep
shall I caress your body
only in sleep
shall this love have
mutuality
only in sleep
shall two become one
only in sleep
shall this passion be
only in sleep
can it be true
after this sleep
one takes the mask again
dresses up for the
coming hours
well poised and respected
one meets lies with lies
quick as a sparrow
meek as a dove
but foxy still
with your smiles
